Get smooth, sleek and soft for Summer

by Ethos public relations

Summer is here and tabloid newspapers and magazines are awash with images of celebrities on holiday. If you’ve ever wondered how ‘celebs’ manage to look so smooth and sleek in their swimwear,  Dr Kiran Patel from the Laserase clinic network can you let you into a little secret.

“Laser hair reduction is one of the fastest growing cosmetic procedures in the UK because of its efficacy and value for money,” he said. "The British cosmetic market tends to replicate what is happening in the US and a recent report from there suggests treatments like this are on the rise.”

According to a report from The American Society of Plastic Surgeons (ASPS) the number of cosmetic surgery treatments carried out in 2009 has dropped. However, minimally invasive procedures such as laser hair removal are on the increase.

Intense pulsed light or (IPL) hair reduction has been around for many years but the technology around it has vastly improved. In this region, Laserase North West was the first clinic to offer a revolutionary medical laser - the Soprano Super HR. This super fast laser offers hair removal without the discomfort traditionally associated with laser treatments.

“The Soprano has powerful pulses which are not detected by the sensory nerve endings which mean a reduction in the amount of discomfort clients feel,” said Dr Patel. “The Laser works by selectively targeting the hair in its follicle and destroying the base of the hair to prevent it re-growing. It can treat all hair types and all skin types and is particularly good for darker skin or for those people with course hair.”

Having smooth legs and under arms is a beauty must for most women on the beach but excessive hair can be a medical problem for some and Dr Patel advises that laser treatment could be the best method of treating this persistent problem which can cause immense embarrassment.

Laserase is one of the largest networks of medical centres in the UK. All treatments are carried out by fully qualified doctors and nurses and is regulated by the Care Quality Commission.
